Pay Street, Hawkinge, CT18

Set in a wonderfully peaceful semi-rural position on Pay Street, Hawkinge, this detached Swedish-built four-bedroom bungalow offers exceptional space, light and energy efficiency. Sitting on a generous plot of around one third of an acre, the property combines contemporary comfort with a sense of seclusion, all while being just moments from the amenities of Hawkinge and within easy reach of both Folkestone and Canterbury.

Designed with practicality and efficiency in mind, the bungalow is extremely well insulated and benefits from triple glazing throughout, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature year-round and keeping running costs to a minimum. Recently, Affinity Water carried out a general inspection and confirmed that everything is working well, adding further reassurance to prospective buyers.

The accommodation is bright and airy, with four generously sized double bedrooms. Three enjoy their own en-suite shower rooms, while the fourth is served by a stylish family bathroom and separate WC. One of the bedrooms also opens directly onto the garden, offering flexibility as a guest suite, teenage retreat or even an annexe-style space.

At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen/diner is perfectly suited to family life and entertaining. Fitted with integrated appliances, it also includes a breakfast bar and plenty of space for a large dining table. A separate utility room provides additional storage and direct garden access. The lounge is a particularly inviting space, with its dual aspect windows and door flooding the room with light and opening directly onto the garden.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the property and are mainly laid to lawn, framed by mature hedges, shrubs and trees that provide privacy and colour all year round. A summer house creates an additional retreat, while a private walkway down the side of the house—owned as part of the property—adds convenience and access. The gated block-paved driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and leads to an impressive double garage with extra-wide doors designed to accommodate larger cars. The garage is also equipped with power, allowing for the charging of electric vehicles either inside or from the driveway.

The location is one of the property's greatest assets. Directly opposite the bungalow is open farmland, safeguarded as agricultural land, currently rented out for grazing horses, this ensures the rural outlook is preserved. With countryside walks on the doorstep, the setting offers tranquillity and privacy, yet remains connected to village life.

Hawkinge itself provides everything needed day-to-day, including supermarkets, a pharmacy, GP surgeries, pubs, takeaways and primary schools. For a broader selection, Folkestone is just a short drive away with its vibrant Harbour Arm, town centre shopping and high-speed rail service to London St Pancras in under an hour. Canterbury is also within easy reach, offering historic charm alongside excellent shopping, cultural and educational facilities. The M20 and Channel Tunnel are nearby, making this an ideal base for both commuters and travellers.

This unique home combines the best of modern comfort, energy efficiency and space, set within a generous plot and in a location that balances rural charm with everyday convenience. A rare opportunity to secure a beautifully presented and thoughtfully designed bungalow in one of Hawkinge's most desirable settings.
